I Wright Brothers Machine Behaves Better Than on Former Trials and Fine Speed Is Made. WASHINGTON. July 2. After mak ing two successful flights late today, the Wright aeroplane met with a slight mishap which will delay further tests until next week. The machine, with Orvllle Wright at the helm, was on its way around the Fort Myer drillgrounds for the ninth time in its second flight when the motor stopped suddenly 60 feet above the earth. The great bird-like machine came to a standstill. the.n glided to the earth with out injury to Its occupants, landing ex-, actly at the same spot where the fatal accident occurred last September. In gliding to a stop the machine struck a tree and was swerved around with such force that the skids were broken and the right wing badly ripped. No Flight Till Tuesday. After the mishap Orville said he would not be ready for another flight before Tuesday at the earliest. The motor on the aeroplane had been miss ing explosions for some time before It stopped. Evidently some change had been made either in the sparker or the motor, as it was developing more power than on the previous day's trial. Despite the mishap, the two flights today were the most successful that Or vllle Wright has made at Fort Myer since his return to complete the Gov ernment trials. Makes Good Speed. On the first attempt he flew about the field 12 times in 11 minutes and 50 sec onds, and on the second trial he had gone around eight and one-half times when the flight was terminated. Dur ing both flights Mr. Wright went higher and faster than in the trials of the two previous days. It was estimated that his speed was about 37 miles an hour on an average, although the machine prob ably exceeded 40 miles when flying with the breeze. Orville Wright got away In splendid shape on the first trial, the machine traveling with greater steadiness than formerly. Orvllle. on the first flight, landed within 200 feet of the starting tower, and the aeroplane came down "as light as a feather." wmmmmmm ' " -A 3C y&a8zxxt:-' ' - SIBM IUK "SNAPPER" OF ISITEII STATES NAVY IS LAUNCHED. NEW YORK. July 2. (Special.) Three submarines for'the United States Navy were launched from the Fore River Shlpouildlng Company's yards at Quincy. Mass., last week. The Grayling was christened by Miss Katherine Bowles, daughter of Admiral Bowles, who is at the head of the Fore River company; the Boniio by Mrs. J. C. Townsend, wife of Lieutenant Townsend, of the Navy, and the Snapper by Miss Alice Nlcoll, niece of L. Y. Spear, manager of the Electric Boat Company. The Bonito and Snapper are duplicates of the Tarpon and Stingray, which were launched some time ago, and the Grayling of the Narwhal. Great Armada of Vessels Will Maneuver in Atlantic. START WAR PRACTICE SOON TEST COURSE DIFFICULT1 ONE Orville Wright May Attain Height of ' 500 Feet From Ground in Flight. WASHINGTON. July 2. "I would rather fly over that country in our aeroplane than ride over It In your au tomobile." said Wilbur Wright yester day to a scouting party, preparing to traverse the dusty red Virginia roads between Fort Myer and Alexandria along the course over which his brother is soon to fly. The automobile did puncture a tire, snd the stifling heat along the clay bot toms and through the woods was all but Intolerable. The course over which will be made the official flight for which the Wrights are preparing begins at Fort Myer. across the river from Washing ton on a high plateau. and extends somewhat east of south, five miles to the turning point on a hill west of Alexandria, which will be made visible from Fort Myer by a small, bright yel low balloon, marktng its location. The country between is broken and rather heavily wooded, but at Intervals there are open fields offering landing places in case or emergency. This will be the first flight across broken country in heavier-than-air machines. Last evening's flight over the open level parade ground at Fort Myer exhibited curious effects of build ings and foliage upon the atmospheric currents, and the conditions over the extensive and diversified area will be studied by the Wrights and the Army signal corps orncers. The highest altitude yet negotiated by the Wrights Is 364 feet Wilbur Wright making that height for a prize in France but at one point In the Irglnia course, if he maintains a leve flight, he will be fully 600 feet above the ground. The test is expected to nemonstrate the value, of an aeroplane in military service. If Orvllle Wright can fly a level course, he will be practically safe from the attack of imaginary troops in the valley of Four-Mile Run, which flows across the middle of the course. But If he follows the varying hills he will lose, much headway, and may fall of the 88 miles speed required. He h three ehancea to Tnake good" In offl ciai tnais. There are comparatively few dwell ing along the course and most of those are negro cabins, but the farmers who live between Fort Myer and "Shutter Hill," the turning point, are filled with expectancy and view the event with varying emotions. "When Is the airship going to flyr is the question riun- at the signal offl cers at every oportunlty. "Will It hunt my house If It lands on the roof?' another of the anxious questions.

INCOME TAX IS CARRIED (Continued from First Ppre.) LEET PLANS OUT Battleships, Torpedo-Boats and Sub marines to Engage in Difficult Practices During the En tire Summer. BOSTON. July 2. A tentative pro gramme for the maneuvers of the great battleship fleet that will assemble at Provincetown next week for the Summer drill was announced today by Rear-Admiral Seaton Schroeder. who will com mand the largest and strongest aggrega tion of warships that has ever assembled In American waters. There are to be 17 battleships, 6 auxiliaries, the torpedo flo tilla of 12 boats, the submarine flotilla of 6 boats and 3 scout cruisers. From July until late in August the fleet will engage in elaborate tactical maneuvers. An important fact In connection with the reassembling of the Atlantic fleet is the addition of several new ships, and the almost complete change In the fleet and division commanders. The new ships are the New Hampshire, Idaho, Wiscon sin and Mississippi. These replace the Illinois, Kentucky and Kearsarge. The work laid out for the fleet will occupy every day and some of the nights. and Includes fleet, squadron and division evolutions, offense and defense against torpedoboats and submarines, anchoring and getting under way in all classes of formation. The naval reserves of Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey and. the District of Columbia will work with the regular officers and men from July 26 to 31.

M. th starting gun boomed on board the yacht Gretchen, the ref eree's boat, for the varsity eights to start. Pennsylvania for a brief spell poked her shell in front, with Wisconsin and Cornell a foot behind and Syracuse and Columbia close up. Then Cornell's eight went to their stroke and their shell shot to the front. Settling into a 34 stroke. Cornell began to gain. Cornell's Winning Spurt. At the first mile Cornell had a lead of three-quarters of a length over Syracuse, with Columbia third by the same dis tance, Wisconsin fourth and Pennsylvania last. The real thrill came as the crews passed the bridge which marks three miles. All crews were rowing steadily and strongly and for a mile not a foot was gained or lost. Suddenly Columbia's men increased their stroke and their shell shot through the water like a torpedo boat. "Columbia wins. Columbia wins," was the cry raised by enthusiastic Colum bians. Then the final spurt began. Without perceptible extra effort Cornell pulled away and increased her stroke from the steady to 36 until a bare streak of open water showed between the Cornell shell and Columbia. Syracuse came along lengths behind, the same distance sepa rating her from Wisconsin. Pennsylvania was last by a length. In this order they finished. The freshmen elght-oared race went to Cornell by a length over Syracuse. Penn sylvania made a fine spurt in the last lap, being three quarters of a length over Wisconsin, which crew was about rour lengths ahead of Columbia. The first two crews broke the record, which was 9:18, made by Cornell in 1903. POLE MAY BE REACHED NOTED EXPLORER THINKS ZEP PELIN SHIP WILli WIN. OVER TWENTY CROSHEO WEST WALL OF ENTRANCE TO BRITISH CANAJj FALLS. Workmen Caught In Trench 60 Feet Deep at Accident on Alexan dria Canal Work. NEWPORT. Monmouthshire, England. July 2. It Is estimated that 20 men perished today by the sudden collapse of the west wall of the new lock at the entrance to the Alexandria dock. The extension of the dock work has been in progress for some time. Fifty men were working In a trench 60 feet deep, preparing for the laying of a concrete foundation, when the heavy shoring timbers suddenly gave way in the middle and the entire structure col lapsed and carried down with it thou sands of tons of earth, the railway lines on both sides of the trench, many cars and four traveling cranes. The men at the bottom of the trench had no chance to escape, but many of them working nearer the surface were uninjured. Three men were taken out alive, and the bodies of some of the dead were rescued later. Late tonight four men, still living, were pinned in the debris in the trench. The incoming tide made the work of rescue difficult. Believes Undertaking Thoroughly Feasible and Worth Expense' of Real Trial. BERLIN, July 2. The proposal to reach the North Pole In a Zeppelin air ship is regarded as feasible by Erlck von Drygalski, the well-known geographer and polar explorer, who today said that the accomplishment of the project lies within the radius of action which Count Zeppelin already has demonstrated as possible for his craft. The dangerous and severe Arctic storms must be reckoned with. Herr von Drygalski regards fhe geographic and scientific aims of the expedition as fully justifying the venture and the expense entailed.

In which the in come tax was declared to be invalid. Aldrlch suggested that the language called Into question had been passed upon by many distinguished lawyers. Root gave assurance that these objec tions would receive careful considera tion by the finance committee, although he said he believed the amendment as framed was such as to insure its con stitutionality. Saying he preferred voting for an In come rather than a corporation tax, Rayner declared he would vote for the pending corporation tax if he could not have his first choice. "I believe." he added, "that this Is an absolutely constitutional measure. This hill is unjust and Inequitable, but when I ojnnot obtain an Income tax, I will , forced to vote for this amendment jT leave the Government bankrupt." TIME OF BOAT RACE.

Documents Found on Prisoner Ex press Desire to Kill Official and Call Englishmen Tyrants. Wyllie Friend of India. LONDON, July 2. The murder of Lieutenant-Colonel Sir William Hutt Curzon Wyllie and Dr. Cawas Lalcaca of Shang hai by Madar Lelof Dhinagri. an Indian student, Thursday night at the Imperial jn.-iiLLiLe ims enrrea tingiana In a man ner unknown since the Phoenix Park murders. It had bren a subject for self- congratulation by Englishmen that Great Britain was Immune from political crimes of this nature. Great sympathy Is felt for "Viscount Morley, Secretary of State for India, the flimculties of whose position are daily increased Dy tne murder. Strong foel ing has been aroused against certain members of the House of Commons and others who have encouraged the agitation against the government. It is under stood that Scotland Yard already has detailed detectives to follow Lord Morley and others connected with the Indian department. Ambition to Kill "Tyrant." Two documents were found on Dhinagri. One was a confession of a desire to take the life of a high official because he was dissatisfied with the British rule In India and the other a sort of political creed referring to Englishmen as tyrants and having a suggestion of reward In heaven for any one getting rid of prominent .Britishers. The assassin's family is said to be well- known at Amrltsar, in the Punjab, where his father Is a municipal leader. He gives hiB age as 26. Assassin Drunk With Bhang. One of Madar's acquaintances makes the statement In the Chronicle that the assassin was drunk with bhang (an In dlan intoxicant). He contends that aiadar visited some extremist club before going to the Imperial Institute, had his mind poisoned by a gang of conspirators to the point of committing murder and then was drugged with bhang and weapons pla-ed in his pockets. The Daily Express calls loudly upon the government for measures to suppress the India house agitation in London, of which Krishnavsrma is the leading spirit. He Is now residing in Paris. Makes Plea of Self-Defense. Dhinagri was arraigned in the Westmin eter Police Court this morning and re manded for one week after being formally charged with willful murder. In the dock the prisoner appeared quite unconcerned. He stood with his hand in his pockets and shook his head nega tively when asked if he wished to say anvthlng. Subsequently, however, he said that he had not willfully killed Dr Lalcaca. "As he advanced he caught hold of me. I fired. In self-aefense." he declared. The Hindu prisoner was removed to jail under a strong guard. At the India office the murder of Colonel Wyllie. who was a political aide de-camp to Lord Morley. Secretary of State for India, is declared to be en tlrelv political. Colonel Wyllie. so far a is known, had bad no personal dealings with Dhinagri, and the India office view Is that the outrage was due to some lm aginary grievance against the British Government. Meeting in Interest of India. The National India Association, under whose auspices the gathering at the Im perial Institute was held, was formed for the purpose of establishing friendly rela tions between the peoples of Great Brit ain and India. Sir Alfred and Lady Wlllett and the guests, who numbered 300 Anglo-Indian retired officers and members of the In dian service, Indian officers, officials and students, were present. The scene was a brilliant one. There were present many native Indians and women in pic turesque native costumes, and, with the exception of the assassin, every one was in evening dress. Dhinagri was attired in ordinary morn ing dress and wore a turban. The tickets to the function were -placed with great care, in order that they might fall only Into the hands of reliable persons. Lieutenant-Colonel Wyllie had spent his entire life working for the welfare of India. June ' Temperature Is Highest In Many Years Cooler Weather Is Expected. WASHINGTON, July 2.
